Very nice location, easy commute to city center and surrounding towns.

This hotel was as good as closed the pool area was unkempt it was in the middle of nowhere and the restaurant which was advertised was closed. There was literally nobody there and we have been told the hotel is closing down next week. It should never have been open, we seen approx 12 people in the 4 days we were there. It is possibly a result of Covid 19 and that’s sad however it should most definitely not have been open

Great hotel. Beautiful grounds and nice touches throughout. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good. We arrived very late, so the restaurant was closed for dinner but they suggested another restaurant, a wonderful suggestion that saved our night.

Location of the hotel insists that you have a car to move around. It is impossible to find sufficient information on the public transport. Taxi from airport costs ~45 euros (hotel provides also this service). The hotel interior is a bit dated, but it is clean and it doesn't bother much. Service at the reception and bar was excellent. We arrived hungry later afternoon and we got hot sandwiches and some cookies.It was very nice and welcoming.Regarding the restaurant-the prices vs quality is not very good. Pricy meals,but bigger excpectation on taste. We ate dinner 2 times and payd total~100 euros for 2persons. The other negative issue was the TV. For 4*hotel there should be some english langugage channels. At the reception we were told that there are some, but they kept changing location and were very difficult to find. No news channels though. At the room was no information at all regarding channel list. TV itself was big enough size. I understand that when you are on vacation and are spending most of the days at the pool swimming and sun-bathing then the TV has no importance. Unfortunately, we stayed at the hotel total 4 days but on 3 of them rained. No other activities could be found at the hotel -billiard table or book shelf or board games, even no english language newspapers or magazines. The bed mattress was worn out and after few nights backs hurt.We asked them to book us an Etna tour and this was great. They made the call, arranged everything and it went smoothly.

What a great place. Can't say enough about the beautiful plants and trees at the entrance, it must cost a fortune to maintain.

The hotel had a very picturesque entrance. We had a wedding 12 minutes away so the location was good. I should have requested a room with a shower rather than very high bath tub. Also, paid extra for a room with sea view which was really was not there.

Greeted warmly upon check in and had a nice welcome gift waiting for us in our rooms. Very nice hotel and a great value.

We decided to stay in this hotel as it appeared to be midpoint between the Catania airport and where we had to be the next day. Navigating the unfamiliar road at night was a challenge, but once we finally made it to the hotel, it was a welcome sight. A wedding was going on and that gave a joyous atmosphere, not disturbing at all. Rooms were clean, furniture modern but not out of step with the grande-dame appearance of corridors and staircases. Great breakfast in a beautiful room, amazing pool area, incredible views from rooftop terraces. Only complaint was that bed was very very hard, but at that point, so tired, could have slept on a bed of nails.

I had an early morning flight out of Catania and the Garden's price was reasonable and it was said to be close to Catania's airport. The hotel is actually at least 20 km distant from the sirport, located north of Catania in a suburb. When I got there I was told that the advertised ariport shuttle service was not available and that I would have to take a taxi which the clerk would arrange with a cab company. At the airport the taxi driver demanded three times the fare the hotel clerk had quoted to me the night before. Since they got me to the airport only forty minutes before my flight left I had to pay up or miss my flight . I had asked for an earlier departure but was told by the clerk that was not possible. You have to eat at the hotel's restaurant unless you have a car-it is good but pricy. The room was old but comfortable. I won't stay here again..

Anexcellent hotel as a touring base for EASTERNSICILY . Anything we asked for was accommodated . Quiet in early June and no evening bar outside the restaurant, . Mainly aimed at Sicilian business clients or local events but worked hard to m ake us welcome.
